SSV vs E63 AMG ..

[geo41e]

:hmmm:

did a little F1 red light with one today...
that thing pulled one and a half car lengths on me by 2nd to 3rd gear lol

now i'm just wondering...
if i cammed my car..would i be able to keep up with one / have the same performance ?

have to admit for a stock car..that thing pulls hard and has an awsome sound track.
(yes i know...he paid $270,000)

btw : anybody here had similar scenarios and came out ontop ?
that is..eastern creek drags..etc ?

Need specs of both cars.
Wouldn't stress on how much he paid for it. Allot of the value in them things comes from the fancy things on the inside as well.

And luxury car/import tax.

Yeah I was thinking its probably sold for less then half of that in Europe.

according to the above website, the E63 AMG has 525hp, 630Nm, and does 0-100 in 4.5 seconds.

the ssv has 362hp, 530Nm, and does 0-100 in 5.6 seconds.

so to answer your question.... no, upgraded cam, tune, exhaust, air intake wont get you what you need to beat the E63. it'll certainly help though!
a relatively mild supercharged setup (no need for upgraded engine internals) should be enough.

What's the weight difference like?

 

[UFO]

nothing in it

1765kg E63, 1777kg SSV

how the hell can they squeeze that much from power ??
i mean..take a look at a new HSV LS2 ....6.2L and no where near it...

Because Holden are relying on an engine design that is not hugely different from something 40 years ago, granted its tried and proven but at the end of the day its not state-of-the-art.

Whereas Mercedes, and by extension AMG, have engines that rely on new and better designs.

But in comparison, I would WAAAAAAY prefer to do backyard mechanics on the Holden.

Also, the E63 does 8000rpm, hence why it doesn't have a huge amount more torque, but does have a substantial difference in power.

Thats like 391kw at the engine so would prob be around 330/40 at the wheels, not bad for a standard car
